ALDEN'S MANIFOLD CYCLOPEDIA
OF KNOWLEDGE AND LANGUAGE.


y work which bears the above title
The specimen pages which the
l. publisher sends free to any appli-
cant, show the type which is used
"a good clear-faced BREWER; also
the form Ideal" for convenience,
easy for the eye, handy to hold.
The volumes will average about $40
! pages each, and there will probably
be about thirty of them-the mani
fold number will not be inconve-
nient; when you consult cyclope-
dia you are supposed to know what
"title" you are looking for; the let
tering on the back of each volume
tells you at a glance what titles
will be found within, so you do not
look in the wrong one-and the
volumes are so "handy" you quick
| ly turn to the sought-for page.
There will be several thousand
illustrations-no 'mere pictures"
but everything of importance that
will serve to illustrate.
The Manifold Cyclopedia is to be
much more than encyclopedia of
Universal Knowledge" it will en-
body also dictionary of the Eng
lish language-including every
word which has any claim to a
place in the language. How often
you have consulted Appleton's or
Chambers, or Johnson's Cyclopedia
and failed to find the title you were
for-then consulted Webster's I'm
abridged and were successful; the
word belonged to the dictionary
rather than to the cyclopedia. Or
you have consulted Webster and
found little more than a mere def
milton of the word-you must go to
the cyclopedia for details of knowl-
edge. Or, more probable than
either of the foregoing suggestions,
you do not own either first-class
cyclopedia or first-class diction-

of their prohibitory cost, SO you
